Caramelize the Onions
Melt butter and olive oil over medium heat in a pot. Add sliced onions, sugar, salt, and cook until soft and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
Add Broth and Wine
Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, bay leaf, and pour in beef broth and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Prepare Bread Toppings
While the soup simmers, toast the French bread slices until golden.
Finish the Soup
Remove bay leaf, season with pepper and nutmeg. Ladle soup into bowls, top with toasted bread, and sprinkle Gruyère cheese generously on top.
Broil the Soup
Place bowls under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden, approximately 3-5 minutes.
